Material studied. This is a common species in the lower beds of the Simsima Formation and a large number of specimens were available for study. There are 208 specimens in the collections made. Of these the following were mea- sured: BMNH EE4107, EE4116-19, EE4121, EE4129, EE4130, EE4132-34, EE4139-41, EE4144-45, EE4154-57, EE4163, EE4172, EE4174, EE4186, EE4208, EE4217, EE4232, EE4249, EE4251, EE4253-54, EE4257.

Jebel Buhays, section 2: loose in scree (3). Jebel Buhays, section 3: lowest 2 metres (1). Jebel Thanais: lowest couple of metres of section (5). Jebel Aqabah: basal shell bed (2). Jebel Faiyah, section 1: arbaciid level ca. 4 m above base (12). Jebel Huwayyah, section 1: beds 14 and 15 (54). Jebel Rawdah, section 1: bed 6 (1); top of bed 4 (15); bed 3 (49); loose (2). Jebel Rawdah, section 2: bed 6 (1); bed 11 (10); bed 13 (1); bed 14 (7); bed 16 (3); bed 19 (8); bed 20 (1); bed 21 (1) loose in scree just above bed 12 (2); loose in scree, mostly near
